    He come's to the Fergus festival every two years to speak. He seems to be spending more time here because of a new book and his wife to be is from here. We (MacHummel and I) met her two years ago in Fergus and again in Owen Sound at there festival in the early fall. If they are still together they should have married (i think she said) last summer in Scotland. I didn't have a chance to ask last year.

    If you get the chance to see him speak I highly recommend it. He's interesting, knowledgeable and funny. I don't very often have time to go at festivals when I help MacHummel at his CCK booth but catch him when I can.

    David Rosss is both a funny and an inspirational speaker. I met him and heard him speak at both the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games and Williamsburg Scottish festival last year. He is slated to be back at GMHG this July. He does a great opening with Albanach.

    They did get married! I use to order my copies of his books from Keri's shop, Cloaks and Daggers, but the site is down now. She always went out of her way for me to get my copies signed. I hope all is well with them and the site is up again soon, I am interested to read what he writes about The Black Douglas. There are a couple of clips on the Scotland on TV site that are pretty good too.

    Talked with David Ross this past weekend at the Greenville Games in SC. He does bits of Scottish History inbetween sets at the concerts and talks at the games where he sells his books. Very interesting.

    His plaid is a one off which was woven a few years ago with colors and thread counts that have some meaning for William Wallace fans.

    He's done stuff for the History Channel. He's be at Grandfather with Albannach.

    Cloaks and Daggers and books

    Hi Sara!
    I wondered where you got off to! I hope all is well. David's just put out his
    8th book, the Black Douglas, I think about two weeks ago, and is touring the States just now. I'll be at Fergus (he wont) but you can still get me on email or on this forum. Crazy issues with the site. Sigh...
    He wont be back up this way till September.
    Hopefully we'll see you along the Festival trail some time this season. Stop by!
